If they removed the protections (don't do this), that would bump the pick to 2025. I would think for a S&T, the other team is going to want that pick to come before 2027 and maybe before 2025. You'd probably need to figure out a way to get a FRP from someone else which means sending out Jalen or Maxi. I guess you could add KP to that list of names but that really starts to complicate things.Rather than complicate things, I think trading KP makes things simpler in the sense that I don't think the Mavs can get the assets to trade for Collins otherwise. The complication is that I don't think Atlanta would want KP so things would have to be routed through a third team.
